Procedure documentationScanning for Duplicate Proposals for the Same Source Text Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

You can scan the proposal pool to find cases where two identical proposals exist for the same source text. For example, where a system standard and application standard are exactly the same translation. In this case, you can delete the application standard without causing any modified lines, and reduce the size of the proposal pool at the same time, which improves the performance of the translation tools.

Prerequisites

See the Prerequisites section in DEMS Objects for Quality Assurance.

Procedure

  1. Call transaction LXE_MASTER.

  2. Choose   DEMS Objects.   PP Analysis   Duplicates  

  3. Define the criteria for your scan as follows:

    Source language

    In the Source Language field, enter the required source language for the scan.

    Target language

    In the Target languagefield, enter the target language for the scan.

    Name of DEMS objects

    Enter a text string in the Object Name field that will help you recognize the DEMS objects when you call them up in transaction SE63.

    Description of DEMS objects

    You can enter a description of up to 40 characters in the Description field to document how you created the DEMS objects, for example.

    Minimum number of duplicate proposals

    Enter the minimum number of duplicate proposals in the Minimum Frequency field.

    For example, if you only want the DEMS objects contain source texts that have two or more duplicate proposals for this target language, enter 2 in this field.

    Maximum number of source texts

    In the Number of Texts field, you can specify a limit to how many source texts are contained in the DEMS objects produced by the scan.

    If you want the scan to find all instances that match your selection criteria, set this number to a suitably high value.

    Domain to be scanned

    You can restrict the scan to search only in the application standards and exceptions created in a specific domain by entering the 2-character ID for the domain in which you want to scan (for example, LO for Logistics General) in the Domain field.

    To search in all domains of the proposal pool, make sure the fields Domain Type and Domainboth contain the value *.

    Split DEMS objects according to domain

    If the worklist contains objects from collections belonging to different domains, we recommend that you create your top texts according to domain. If you leave the field Ignore Application blank, the system creates domain-specific top texts. For example, the system creates separate top text objects for the source texts in objects from Basis (domain BC) that match your selection criteria, and so on.

    This allows translators to create application standards for the domain in question; in cases where it is not possible to create a system standard for the source text, but an application standard for domain BC is perfectly possible.

    1. Schedule the job to run in the background.

Result

The system scans the proposal pool and creates DEMS objects in accordance with your selection criteria. The DEMS objects contain source texts in the requested source language for which duplicate proposals exist in the requested target language.

You can now trigger processing of these DEMS objects. For more information, see Processing DEMS Objects for Quality Assurance.
